2021 vintage – cool, wet and challenging

2021 began unusually cool along the Saale and Unstrut rivers, and the vines were slow to bud. Even afterwards, the weather remained changeable: frequent and heavy rainfall was accompanied by rather moderate temperatures. The vines developed a great deal of foliage and shoots – which meant intensive foliage management was required in the vineyard. At the same time, the damp conditions demanded special attention and careful work right up until the harvest. From September onwards, healthy grapes could be harvested selectively, in some cases over several passes. The comparatively long ripening period and the cool conditions had a significant impact on the vintage. 2021 produced rather delicate, fresh and elegant wines in the Saale-Unstrut region – a demanding vintage that rewarded the winemakers’ careful work.
